Few-layered titanate nanosheets with large lateral size and surface functionalization: potential for the controlled exfoliation of inorganic–organic layered composites†
Abstract
Herein, few-layered titanate nanosheets with a large lateral size and surface functionalization were synthesized via the exfoliation of precursor layered composites in an organic medium. The combination of layered compounds, intercalated guests, and dispersion media has the potential for the synthesis of nanosheets with controlled lateral sizes, thicknesses, and surface chemistry through exfoliation.
